Embodiment 1

The semiconductor device of Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a semiconductor package of a resin molded type with high heat radiation property, and QFP (Quad Flat Package) 11 by which bending forming of the outer leads 1 e were performed at the shape of a gull wing is taken up and explained here.

The structure of QFP 11 is explained. A plurality of inner leads 1 d, a plurality of outer leads 1 e formed in one with this inner lead 1 d, heat spreader 1 b which is a sheet member joined to tip parts of a plurality of inner leads 1 d via thermoplastic insulating binding material 1 c, bar lead if which is a common lead of the square ring shape arranged at the inside of a plurality of inner leads, semiconductor chip 2 joined via thermoplastic binding material 1 c on heat spreader 1 b at the inside of bar lead if of ring shape, a plurality of electrically conductive wires 3, such as a gold wire which connect pad (electrode) 2 c of semiconductor chip 2 and inner lead 1 d corresponding to this, and pad 2 c and bar lead if, and sealing body 4 which seals semiconductor chip 2 and a plurality of wires 3 with resin are included.

Namely, in QFP 11, the tip parts of inner leads 1 d, bar lead if of ring shape, and semiconductor chip 2 have joined to heat spreader 1 b via thermoplastic insulating binding material 1 c, respectively. Thermoplastic binding material 1 c is a binding material whose glass transition temperature is more than or equal to the heating temperature at the time of wire bonding (for example, about 230° C.), desirably 250° C. or more.

That is, the temperature at which thermoplastic binding material 1 c softens is more than or equal to the heating temperature at the time of wire bonding, desirably more than or equal to 250° C.

Hereby, it can prevent thermoplastic binding material's 1 c becoming soft, and inner lead 1 d moving on thermoplastic binding material 1 c, or peeling from thermoplastic binding material 1 c at the time of the wire bonding in the assembly of QFP 11.

Wire 3 of power supply potential or GND potential is connected to bar lead 1 f of the ring shape which is a common lead.

Next, the manufacturing method of QFP 11 of Embodiment 1 is explained.

First, lead frame 1 shown in the FIG. 2 which has laminated metal frame body 1 a provided with a plurality of inner leads 1 d, a plurality of outer leads 1 e formed in one with each of a plurality of inner leads 1 d and bar lead if of the square ring shape arranged at the inside of a plurality of inner leads 1 d, and has heat spreader 1 b joined to this frame body 1 a via thermoplastic insulating binding material 1 c, is prepared.

In lead frame 1, the tip part of each inner lead 1 d and bar lead if, and quadrangular heat spreader 1 b are joined via thermoplastic binding material 1 c, respectively.

That is, heat spreader 1 b is a sheet shaped thing corresponding to an inner lead 1 d row, and it has a chip mounting function while it is a quadrangle.

In lead frame 1, punching holes (first through holes) 1 g formed by lead trimming are formed at the outside of each bar lead 1 f of square ring shape. Punching holes 1 g formed between the inner lead 1 d group and bar lead 1 f among punching holes 1 g adjoin a tip part of an each inner lead 1 d, and are formed along the column direction of inner lead 1 d. Therefore, between a plurality of inner leads 1 d and square bar lead 1 f which adjoined this, four long and slender punching holes 1 g are formed (refer to FIG. 11).

Then, die bonding is performed.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, lead frame 1 is arranged on heat stage 6 (stage). Heat stage 6 is beforehand heated to predetermined temperature (for example, more than or equal to 300° C.) in that case. Hereby, heat is transmitted from heat stage 6 to thermoplastic binding material 1 c via heat spreader 1 b after lead frame arrangement on heat stage 6, and when prescribed temperature is reached, thermoplastic binding material 1 c will begin to become soft.

Then, by performing an adsorption hold of the main surface 2 a side of semiconductor chip 2 and transferring with collet 5, semiconductor chip 2 is arranged above the chip mounting region of heat spreader 1 b of lead frame 1.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, with collet 5, where the adsorption hold of the semiconductor chip 2 is performed, collet 5 is dropped, and back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2 is joined to thermoplastic binding material 1 c on heat spreader 1 b.

Semiconductor chip 2 is joined to thermoplastic binding material 1 c on heat spreader 1 b via thermoplastic binding material 1 c which was heated and softened in the condition of having pressed down the tip parts of a plurality of inner leads 1 d and bar lead 1 f to the heat stage 6 side with jig 7, in that case.

Although thermoplastic binding material 1 c is softened at this time, since each inner lead 1 d and bar lead 1 f are suppressed by retaining jig 7 to the heat stage 6 side, die bonding can be performed without making inner lead 1 d scattered without inner lead 1 d peeling from thermoplastic binding material 1 c, or moving on thermoplastic binding material 1 c.

Only thermoplastic binding material 1 c can perform die bonding, without using special die bond material.

As a result, the step which applies die bond material can be skipped and improvement in the assembling property of a semiconductor device (QFP 11) can be aimed at.

Since special die bond material is not used, the manufacturing cost of a semiconductor device (QFP 11) can be reduced.

This becomes die-bonding completion, as shown in FIG. 5.

Then, wire bonding is performed as shown in FIG. 6.

That is, pad 2 c (refer to FIG. 1) of semiconductor chip 2, and inner lead 1 d corresponding to this and bar lead 1 f are electrically connected with electrically conductive wire 3, respectively.

Then, resin molding is performed.

First, as shown in FIG. 7, forming mold 8 which includes a pair with first metal mold 8 a (lower die) and second metal mold 8 b (upper die) is prepared. The surface of the side on which semiconductor chip 2 is not mounted, i.e., back surface 1 j of lead frame 1 is arranged on metal-mold surface 8 e of first metal mold 8 a with which gate 8 d was formed among forming mold 8, and first metal mold 8 a and second metal mold 8 b are clamped after that.

This will become the condition that a plurality of inner leads 1 d, semiconductor chip 2, a plurality of wires 3, and heat spreader 1 b were covered with cavity 8 c of forming mold 8.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, resin 9 for sealing is poured in into cavity 8 c of forming mold 8 from gate 8 d (refer to FIG. 7) of first metal mold 8 a arranged at the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1. By this, as for resin 9 for sealing poured in into cavity 8 c, while flowing along the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1 so that heat spreader 1 b may be covered, and filling up cavity 8 c at the side of back surface 1 j, it flows also into cavity 8 c at the side of front surface 1 k via opening of gate contiguity of lead frame 1, and cavity 8 c at the side of front surface 1 k is also filled up.

In the process in which resin 9 for sealing poured into the back surface 1 j side flows by flow 10 of resin, it flows into the front surface 1 k side through punching holes 1 g formed between inner lead 1 d and bar lead 1 f by injection pressure, and as shown in the A section of FIG. 8, wire 3 connected to inner lead 1 d arranged at the front surface 1 k side is pushed up.

Namely, since it flows into the front surface 1 k side so that resin 9 for sealing may arise through punching holes 1 g between inner lead 1 d and bar lead 1 f from the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1 by arranging gate 8 d at the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1, wire 3 can be pushed up and a tension can be given to wire 3.

Hereby, it becomes difficult to generate a wire short circuit and wire deformation, and improvement in the reliability of a product can be aimed at.

Thus, cavity 8 c of back-and-front both sides is filled up with resin 9 for sealing, and sealing body 4 which becomes completion of resin molding shown in FIG. 9 is formed.

Then, cut formation of outer leads 1 e is performed, and it becomes assembly completion of QFP 11 shown in FIG. 1.

Embodiment 2

Like QFP 11 of Embodiment 1, the semiconductor device of Embodiment 2 shown in FIG. 10 is QFP 12 of a resin molded type with heat spreader (sheet member) 1 b, in order to increase heat radiation property. A different point from QFP 11 of Embodiment 1 is that tab 1 h which is a far small chip mounting part is formed via insulating adhesion member 13 (binding material) on heat spreader 1 b as compared with back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2.

That is, QFP 12 of Embodiment 2 is a semiconductor device of small tab structure.

The structure of QFP 12 is explained, a plurality of inner leads 1 d and a plurality of outer leads 1 e formed in one with this inner lead 1 d, heat spreader 1 b joined to tip parts of a plurality of inner leads 1 d via insulating adhesion member 13, bar lead if of the square ring shape arranged at the inside of a plurality of inner leads 1 d, tab 1 h which is a chip mounting part far smaller than back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2, and is fixed via insulating adhesion member 13 on heat spreader 1 b at the inside of bar lead if of ring shape, semiconductor chip 2 mounted on this tab 1 h, a plurality of electrically conductive wires 3 which connect pad (electrode) 2 c of semiconductor chip 2 and inner lead 1 d corresponding to this, and pad 2 c and bar lead if, such as gold wires, and sealing body 4 which seals semiconductor chip 2 and a plurality of wires 3 with resin are included.

That is, QFP 12 shown in FIG. 10 is the thing of a small tab structure by which semiconductor chip 2 was mounted on small tab 1 h formed via insulating adhesion member 13 on heat spreader 1 b.

Tab 1 h is connected with four suspension leads 1 i as shown in FIG. 11, and suspension lead 1 i is insulated with bar lead if of ring shape by punching holes 1 g. However, suspension lead 1 i and bar lead 1 f of the maximum inside may be connected.

A through hole 1 m which is a second through hole formed in heat spreader 1 b is formed in the perimeter of tab 1 h.

This through hole 1 m is a hole for fully circulating resin 9 for sealing in the gap of back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2, and heat spreader 1 b at the time of resin molding. By fully filling up the gap of back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2, and heat spreader 1 b with resin 9 for sealing, a chip back surface and resin 9 for sealing can adhere, and improvement in reflow crack resistance can be aimed at.

As long as adhesion member 13 adopted by Embodiment 2 is an insulating thing, it may be a thermoplastic binding material and may be binding materials other than thermoplasticity.

Since it is the same as that of QFP 11 of Embodiment 1 about the other structures of QFP 12 of Embodiment 2, the explanation is omitted.

Next, the manufacturing method of QFP 12 of Embodiment 2 is explained.

First, lead frame 1 shown in FIG. 11 is prepared.

Namely, lead frame 1 with a plurality of inner leads 1 d, a plurality of outer leads 1 e formed in one with this inner lead 1 d, heat spreader 1 b which is joined to tip parts of a plurality of inner leads 1 d via insulating adhesion member 13 and which is a laminated sheet member, bar lead 1 f of the square ring shape arranged at the inside of a plurality of inner leads 1 d, tab 1 h fixed via insulating adhesion member 13 on heat spreader 1 b at the inside of bar lead 1 f of ring shape, and suspension lead 1 i connected with tab 1 h, is prepared.

In lead frame 1, a tip part of each inner lead 1 d, bar lead 1 f and tab 1 h, and quadrangular heat spreader 1 b are joined via insulating adhesion member (binding material) 13, respectively. Heat spreader 1 b is a sheet shaped thing corresponding to an inner lead 1 d row, and it has a chip mounting function while it is a quadrangle.

In lead frame 1, punching holes 1 g (first through holes) formed by lead trimming are formed at the outside of each bar lead if of square ring shape. Punching holes 1 g formed between the inner lead 1 d group and bar lead if among punching holes 1 g adjoin a tip part of an each inner lead 1 d, and are formed along the column direction of the inner leads 1 d. Therefore, between a plurality of inner leads 1 d and square bar lead 1 f which adjoined this, four long and slender punching holes 1 g are formed (refer to FIG. 11).

As compared with back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2 mounted, the size of tab 1 h is far small, and a plurality of through holes (second through holes) 1 m are further formed in the perimeter of tab 1 h.

Then, die bonding is performed.

Here, semiconductor chip 2 is mounted on tab 1 h stuck over heat spreader 1 b. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the peripheral part of semiconductor chip 2 is protruded out from tab 1 h to the perimeter, and is mounted on tab 1 h. Semiconductor chip 2 is fixed to tab 1 h by thermo compression bonding etc. in that case.

Then, wire bonding is performed as shown in FIG. 13.

That is, pad 2 c (refer to FIG. 10) of semiconductor chip 2, and inner lead 1 d corresponding to this and bar lead if are electrically connected with electrically conductive wire 3, respectively.

Then, resin molding is performed.

First, as shown in FIG. 14, forming mold 8 which includes a pair with first metal mold 8 a (lower die) and second metal mold 8 b (upper die) is prepared. The surface of the side on which semiconductor chip 2 is not mounted 1 j, i.e., back surface, of lead frame 1 is arranged on metal-mold surface 8 e of first metal mold 8 a with which gate 8 d was formed among forming mold 8, and first metal mold 8 a and second metal mold 8 b are clamped after that.

This will become the condition that a plurality of inner leads 1 d, semiconductor chip 2, a plurality of wires 3, and heat spreader 1 b were covered with cavity 8 c of forming mold 8.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15, resin 9 for sealing is poured in into cavity 8 c of forming mold 8 from gate 8 d of first metal mold 8 a arranged at the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1. By this, as for resin 9 for sealing poured in into cavity 8 c, while it flows along the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1 so that heat spreader 1 b may be covered, and fills up cavity 8 c at the side of back surface 1 j, it flows also into cavity 8 c at the side of front surface 1 k via opening of gate contiguity of lead frame 1, and cavity 8 c at the side of front surface 1 k is also filled up.

In the process in which resin 9 for sealing poured into the back surface 1 j side flows by flow 10 of resin, by injection pressure, it flows into the front surface 1 k side through punching holes 1 g formed between inner lead 1 d and bar lead if, and wire 3 connected to inner lead 1 d arranged at the front surface 1 k side as shown in the B section of FIG. 15 is pushed up.

Namely, since it flows into the front surface 1 k side so that resin 9 for sealing may arise through punching holes 1 g between inner lead 1 d and bar lead if from the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1 by arranging gate 8 d at the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1, wire 3 can be pushed up and tension can be given to wire 3.

Hereby, it becomes difficult to generate a wire short circuit and wire deformation, and improvement in the reliability of a product can be aimed at.

As for lead frame 1 of Embodiment 2, since a plurality of through holes 1 m are formed in the perimeter of tab 1 h, in near the back surface of semiconductor chip 2, as shown in the C section of FIG. 15, by injection pressure, resin 9 for sealing arranged at the back surface 1 j side of lead frame 1 flows into the front surface 1 k side through through holes 1 m, and enters between back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2, and adhesion member 13.

Hereby, resin 9 for sealing fully fills up also between back surface 2 b of semiconductor chip 2, and heat spreader 1 b.

As a result, a chip back surface and resin 9 for sealing adhere, it becomes hard for void to be formed, and reflow crack resistance can be increased. Therefore, improvement in the reliability of a product can be aimed at.

Thus, cavity 8 c of back-and-front both sides is filled up with resin 9 for sealing, and sealing body 4 which becomes completion of resin molding shown in FIG. 16 is formed.

Then, cut formation of outer lead 1 e is performed, and it becomes assembly completion of QFP 12 of the small tab structure shown in FIG. 10.

Embodiment 3

FIG. 17 shows a wiring condition in the assembly of the semiconductor device of Embodiment 3.

Lead frame 1 shown in FIG. 17 has a plurality of inner leads 1 d, a plurality of outer leads 1 e formed in one with this, heat spreader 1 b which is a sheet member joined to tip parts of a plurality of inner leads 1 d, frame shape lead 1 p arranged inside four inner lead groups, and lead-out lead in connected with the corner part of this frame shape lead 1 p. Heat spreader 1 b and the tip parts of a plurality of inner leads, and heat spreader 1 b and frame shape lead 1 p are joined via adhesion member 13 (refer to FIG. 12).

That is, lead-out leads in which connected with frame shape lead 1 p, and were pulled out outside are gathered and connected with the corner part of frame shape lead 1 p.

By this, by wire bonding, pad 2 c (refer to FIG. 10) of semiconductor chip 2, and inner lead 1 d corresponding to this, furthermore, pad 2 c of semiconductor chip 2, and the part which avoided near the corner part of frame shape lead 1 p are electrically connected by wire 3, respectively.

In resin molding, resin molding is performed using forming mold 8 with which gate 8 d (refer to FIG. 15), and lead-out lead in were formed in the corner part of the same location in this condition. That is, when gate 8 d is formed in the corner part of cavity 8 c, lead-out leads in connected with frame shape lead 1 p are also brought together in the corner part of the same location, and are arranged.

Hereby, when resin 9 for sealing is poured in into cavity 8 c from gate 8 d, after becoming flow 10 of resin and flowing along lead-out leads in, it will diffuse and fill up with resin 9 for sealing in cavity 8 c. Since wire 3 is not connected near the corner part of frame shape lead 1 p in that case as shown in the D section of FIG. 17, interference with wire 3 near the corner part of poured-in resin 9 for sealing is avoidable. As a result, the generation of wire deformation can be prevented. Furthermore, formation of void can be reduced.

Therefore, improvement in the reliability of a product can be aimed at.

Also in the viewpoint of the length of wire 3, since wire 3 is not connected near the corner part of frame shape lead 1 p at which the distance easily becomes distant from each pad 2 c of semiconductor chip 2, wire 3 can be shortened generally.

Embodiment 4

FIG. 18 shows a wiring condition in the assembly of the semiconductor device of Embodiment 4.

Lead frame 1 shown in FIG. 18 has a plurality of inner leads 1 d, a plurality of outer leads 1 e formed in one with this, heat spreader 1 b which is a sheet member joined to the tip parts of a plurality of inner leads 1 d, and frame shape lead 1 p arranged inside four inner lead groups. Heat spreader 1 b and the tip parts of a plurality of inner leads, and heat spreader 1 b and frame shape lead 1 p are joined via adhesion member 13 (refer to FIG. 12).

In the wire bonding of Embodiment 4, pad 2 c (refer to FIG. 10) of semiconductor chip 2 and inner lead 1 d corresponding to this are connected by wire 3, and as shown in FIG. 18, wire 3 is not connected to frame shape lead 1 p.

That is, in Embodiment 4, frame shape lead 1 p is formed not as a common lead but as an object for reinforcement of a sheet member. For example, when a sheet member is an insulating tape member etc., heat deformation of the tape member can be prevented by joining frame shape lead 1 p and the tape member.

In that case, as shown in FIG. 18, the strength of the tape member can be further raised by forming frame shape lead 1 p side by side at plural lines (Embodiment 4 three rows).

In resin molding, when resin 9 for sealing is injected into cavity 8 c (refer to FIG. 15), with frame shape lead 1 p, the inflow at the side of inner lead 1 d of resin 9 for sealing is prevented, and cavity 8 c is filled up with resin 9 for sealing.

That is, frame shape lead 1 p serves as a dam, and the inflow to the side of a tip part of inner lead 1 d of resin 9 for sealing can be prevented. As a result, improvement in the reliability of a product can be aimed at.

As things mentioned above, the present inventions accomplished by the present inventors were concretely explained based on above embodiments, but the present inventions are not limited by above embodiments, but variations and modifications may be made, of course, in various ways in the limit that does not deviate from the gist.

Although Embodiment 1-4 explained the case where a sheet member was heat spreader 1 b, the sheet member may be a tape member or a substrate of a thin film etc.

Although Embodiment 1-4 took up and explained the case where a semiconductor device was QFP to the example, as long as the semiconductor device is a semiconductor device assembled using the lead frame by which the sheet member was stuck on the tip part of each inner lead 1 d, they may be another semiconductor devices other than QFP.
